Abstract: The form and nature of family communication in Algeria are influenced by a range of factors, such as globalization, modernization, the technological revolution, Western influence, changes in women's roles within the context of modernity and tradition, and various other elements. These factors vary based on the unique nature, size, customs, traditions, values, cultural level, role, status, and environment of each family. Considering modern changes, how do university students perceive and represent family communication? By examining the nature and models of family communication, this study aims to provide insights into the experiences of university students.

Conducting an interview without specific constraints, which encompassed multiple questions related to family communication.
